If you ever encountered this error when you are running your Sproutcore application:
ArgumentError at /yourapp
invalid byte sequence in UTF-8
you should check your comments in files for characters like © that are not valid UTF-8.

If your preferred editor has a setting regarding file encoding, you should set that on UTF-8 and the problems are solved.

That was my piece of code.
It's very common for people to copy and paste from older documents from older Microsoft products that use Windows Code Page 1252 (aka CP-1252), such as some versions of Microsoft Word. This Western encoding has the 'smart quote' characters, the copyright symbol, and a bunch of other code points stuffed into the space between 128-160. These are invalid in UTF-8, but it is trivial to convert to UTF-8 on a system that has GNU iconv installed (Linux, Mac OS, Cygwin and MSYS on Windows all have it):
ReplyDeleteiconv -f cp1252 -t UTF-8 < sample-fail.txt > sample-good.txt
OMG you rock, I have been searching for this error for hours and finally found the solution, I generated the code with the sc-init and it puts a comment with an © sign on it and it throws that error, thanks a lot =)
